Security Rule
Background: The Security Rule defi nes standards to provide a uniform level of protection for all health information that is stored or transmitted electronically.

The Security Rule mandates a combination of administrative and technical measures to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of electronic data.

Storing Scanned Documents
Many of the vulnerabilities associated with paper- based patient health information can be reduced or eliminated by moving to electronic document storage. Electronic storage, however, introduces a whole new range of security risks that must be understood and addressed.

Scan to Desktop lets you scan paper documents to your personal scan inbox and retrieve them using eCopy Desktop. From here you can save them to your local hard drive, a network fi le server, or any one of the many supported document management systems.
